摘要: 针对超高温(>220 ℃)深井及万米特深井钻探中现有油基钻井液乳化剂热稳定性不足、油水界面膜易失效的技术难题,基于刚性骨架增强热稳定性和多位点吸附的设计思路,以月桂酸和二苯乙烷等为原料,合成了含双苯环桥连骨架、双长链烷基和双磺酸钙头基的新型超高温乳化剂(UHT-EM)。采用红外光谱和核磁共振氢谱表征了其分子结构。通过耐温性、低频振荡及微观形貌评价了该乳化剂的乳化性能与界面膜强度,并构建了基于UHT-EM的超高温油基钻井液体系。结果表明,1.0%UHT-EM的乳状液在230 ℃老化16 h后的破乳电压为1431 V,250 ℃仍保持729 V,260 ℃仅为430 V,显著优于乳化剂HTM和Span80。低频振荡测试表明其在低应变幅下储能模量G′达649 ~ 801 Pa,且G′始终显著高于G″,表现出以弹性为主导的高强度特征。微观形貌分析表明,乳状液在230 ~ 250 ℃内保持规则的球形和单峰窄粒径分布,260 ℃时因分子锚定与离子交联协同失效而发生聚并失稳。基于UHT-EM构建的超高温油基钻井液(油水比为80∶20、密度为2.0 g/cm3)在230 ℃老化16 h后破乳电压值达1226 V,FLHTHP为28.0 mL。UHT-EM凭借双苯环桥连刚性骨架与双磺酸钙头基的分子协同,显著提高了热分解温度和界面膜强度,在250 ℃表现出优异的乳化稳定性能,可为万米特深井及超高温深井钻探用油基钻井液提供核心材料支撑。Abstract: This study aimed to address the technical challenges of insufficient thermal stability and easy failure of the oil-water interfacial film in existing oil-based drilling fluid emulsifiers during ultra-high-temperature (>220 ℃) deep well and 10,000-meter-level ultra-deep well drilling. Based on the design concepts of rigid-skeleton-enhanced thermal stability andmulti-site adsorption,the study synthesized a novel ultra-high-temperature emulsifier (UHT-EM) featuring a double-benzene-bridged skeleton, double long-chain alkyl groups, and double calcium sulfonate head groups, using lauric acid and diphenylethane as raw materials. The molecular structure was characterized by infrared spectroscopy and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy. The emulsification performance and interfacial film strength were evaluated in terms of thermal stability, low-frequency oscillation, and microscopic morphology, and an ultra-high-temperature oil-based drilling fluid system based on UHT-EM was formulated. The results showed that the emulsion containing 1.0% UHT-EM exhibited ES of 1431 V after aging at 230 ℃ for 16 h, which remained at 729 V at 250 ℃, and dropped to 430 V at 260 ℃, significantly outperforming the emulsifiers HTM and Span80. Low-frequency oscillation tests indicated that the storage modulus G′ reached 649–801 Pa at low strain amplitudes and was consistently significantly higher than G″, demonstrating an elasticity-dominated high-strength characteristic. Microscopic morphology analysis showed that the emulsion maintained regular spherical shapes and a unimodal narrow particle size distribution within 230–250 ℃, whereas coalescence and destabilization occurred at 260 ℃ due to the synergistic failure of molecular anchoring and ionic crosslinking. The ultra-high-temperature oil-based drilling fluid formulated with UHT-EM (oil-water ratio 80∶20, density 2.0 g/cm3) achieved an ES value of 1226 V and FLHTHP of 28.0 mL after aging at 230 ℃ for 16 h. By virtue of the molecular synergy between the double-benzene-bridged rigid skeleton and the double calcium sulfonate head groups, UHT-EM significantly improved the thermal decomposition temperature and interfacial film strength, exhibiting excellent emulsification stability at 250 ℃. It can provide core material support for oil-based drilling fluids used in 10,000-meter-level ultra-deep well and ultra-high-temperature deep well drilling.
